Keep in mind that his sack total has nearly doubled in the last 2 weeks, which is pretty late for fans to notice and I think is a part of the reason he wasn't recognized for his efforts.

With that said, he's put up good numbers in a 3-4 when one of the other DL was often a 260 lb linebacker. It appears that he's getting some publicity now, so if he has a year next year like he did this year, he'll get in...as dhpackr said, many pro bowlers get in a year late. Hakunah matata.

I haven't watched the interview, but he seems pretty upset. Maybe he will add a middle finger to the end of his holu dance?

6.5 sacks for a nose tackle is insane. But I can see why Justin Smith and Ndamu would make the Bowl before him. Just not Ratliff.

Hmmm.. Corey Williams did such a thing for the Packers from the inside a couple seasons back.. but many deemed him expendable.

That said.. Raji is more of a complete player over Williams.. but inside pressure is golden IMO.

Comparing a 3-4 NT and a 4-3 DT in sacks isn't fair. Corey Williams was playing next to Pickett, so he could focus more on pass rushing. Raji is too, but with only 3 linemen, and him being the center of it, he has to take a lot of rush assingments. 6.5 sacks for a nose is almost unheard of.

Not saying Corey Williams was expendable. I was one of the people who were pissed we traded him for a mere 2nd rounder after an 8 sack season.

I am pretty sure Raji leads all 3-4 NTs in sacks this season. If you can get three sacks out of your NT, you're getting good production. 6.5 is just scary.

And his sacks have not just been cleanup work either. He's gotten initial pressure a lot of times and has been quick enough to catch QBs without a lot of pressure from elsewhere.

Raji has more sacks than many guys his size have *pressures* in a season, it is impressive no matter how you look at it. For every sack he's gotten he's had a handful of great pressures, pushing the QB into CMIII etc.

I try to get excited for Pro Bowl stuff every single year, but the truth is I really couldn't care less about the Pro Bowl. Just a popularity contest. Sitton and Raji should've made it. Clifton shouldn't have. With results like this I just can't take the Pro Bowl seriously.

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
